Commercial Brokerage

"Tip the world over on its side and everything loose will land in Los Angeles."

- Frank Lloyd Wright

 

The ASG Real Estate team has substantial experience in all segments of the commercial real estate market, coupled with a practical understanding of the unique history of the LA marketplace. With backgrounds in market research, real estate development and investing, we have a rich and diverse base of knowledge to pull from. Whether positioning your building for sale or identifying your next investment, we have the experience and practical knowledge to lead you through the marketplace.


Residential Brokerage

“Los Angeles is 72 suburbs in search of a city.”

- Dorothy Parker

 

For most, the purchase of a new home will be the single largest purchase of their lifetime. We believe it should be treated as such. Beyond understanding neighborhoods and school districts, home buyers and sellers should be guided through the valuation and marketing process by someone who understands how to look at your home as an investment. More than just a face on a bus bench, we’ve bought, repositioned and sold dozens of residential properties throughout Southern California, from the most affordable neighborhoods to LA’s most expensive zip codes.


Development Services

"Genius might be the ability to say a profound thing in a simple way."

- charles bukowski

 

Successful redevelopment projects aim to produce sites of increased value. Often there is a singular goal to provide a higher-quality built environment and experience, serve a social need, or, perhaps, act as an economic driver. In some cases a project is able to accomplish a sort of redevelopment “Triple Crown” whereby all of these goals are achieved. Our focus on neighborhood development allows us to avoid heavy-handed development practices, and to leverage our understanding of evolving markets into successful projects.


Distressed Assets / REO Services

"Change is hard at first, messy in the middle, and gorgeous at the end."

- Robin Sharma

 

Distressed markets require a level headed approach. Buying and selling real estate assets under duress can lead to poor decisions and deeper financial strain. The ASG Real Estate team has worked through two complete market cycles over 25 years and handled literally hundreds of distressed sales. We understand the distinct difference between selecting what is often the best offer versus the one with the highest price. Our objective is to deliver distressed sellers a surety of closing by carefully qualifying all interested parties when offers are delivered.

Short Sales

The short sale process can be stressful and complicated. Much of that can be alleviated by choosing an experienced professional to handle the transaction. Unlike a traditional sale that simply involves a buyer and seller, a short sale transaction involves two or more separate negotiations. First, the sale to a qualified buyer. Secondly, the settlement of debt between the seller and their lenders. The ASG Real Estate Team has successfully managed this process for hundreds of short sellers providing a graceful exit to an uncomfortable financial situation.

"Allan was recommended to me as the best person in L.A. to find the right building for my art gallery. He gently steered me away from potential trouble and towards a much more creative and superior solution. Allan not only helped me purchase the property in record time, he then promptly arranged to sell the portions of the property I did not need. I highly recommend him as an agent for both buying and selling commercial property in Los Angeles."

- Samuel Freeman


"I am so pleased to recommend Allan. During a very tumultuous time in my life, Allan and I met to enter into uncharted real estate waters for me. He came highly recommended from a mutual friend and I am very glad that we’ve met. Allan is extremely knowledgeable, organized, unreal follow through, and overall a true professional. He has been completely honest, and patient with my fears and challenges. I would recommend him to anyone entering the journey of real estate transactions."

- Wendy Feldman


"I have worked and invested with Allan for nearly a decade in a variety of roles. He is knowledgeable, diligent, efficient and among the most trustworthy of any individual I have worked with in the past. His knowledge of general market trends, as well as specific characteristics of the Southern California market, are unmatched. I look forward to continuing my professional relationships with Allan in the near and distant future."
